DAN HODGES: The PM has seized control of the political agenda (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The praise for Andy Burnham was effusive: ‘He has articulated a clear social-democratic vision for Britain. And attacks about returning the country back to the 1970s won’t work because most voters can’t remember or don’t even know about the 1970s.’ Yet what was most surprising was that this message to me came from a senior figure within Reform. ‘The biggest shame for me was Burnham getting the bounce on the triple-lock.
